Hello,
Installed CWM to perform a migration out from the factory original Frodo level.
Took a backup with it. When reboot instead of booting again the std Frodo level it keeps booting into the CWM recovery.
Tried to clear the caches.
Tried to download an exitrecovery.zip file (renamed as update.zip, moved into the removable card first and later into the sdcard by using the CWM USB mount), executed successfully but didn't fix the problem.
Restored the backup level performed at the begining, but still boots into CWM.
Any hint or procedure to get rid of it? Even just restoring everything back to factory levels (I'm afraid to do this drastic step and still get the CWM recovery screen when other alternative action might be applicable).
Thanks!!

I've installed MIUI on the Nook Color and now would like to restore it back to factory settings, but can't! What am I doing wrong?
I've booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery and did a wipe, but it still boots back into MIUI. I also installed CWM on a microSD and booted into recovery from there to perform a wipe, and still it won't work.
Is there a way to perform the 8 interrupted boots??
Any help is appreciated.
Never mind... I think I figured it out.
I just have to download the complete restore file and restore from that.
Was trying to flash the ICS ROM V5 but it got stuck on the boot animation. I did a factory reset, surprisingly it was still there. So i used "Team Win Recovery Project" aka "twrp-crespo-2[DOT]0[DOT]0RC0[DOT]img" in nexusshacks.com. I went in there to do a factory reset but i wiped the ACTUAL system instead. So when i reboot i am stuck on Google. Unfortunely i only had 1 back up which is in ClockworkMod, but i cant access that. I dont mind my lost files because i can recover that but i want my phone to work again. Can i copy the nexus s contents from another nexus s and place it in my SD and will it work? If you guys have ideas please do reply because i need my phone fixed asap. Bootloader unlocked and rooted using superuser.

okay,am not very familiar with TWRP but your problem doesn't seem that big,you wiped the /system which should not affect your USB storage data (even if you wiped the USB storage it's not a problem),try to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power button) then go to recovery,mount the USB storage and put a ROM on it,then just flash the ROM and your device should boot up normally,i think you weren't stuck at the bootanimation since when you flash a new ROM the first boot could take from 5 to 10 minutes.
i usually do a clean install before flashing a new ROM (format system,data,cache,boot) and the device just boot up normally after flashing the new ROM so it's not a problem if you wiped your system just flash a new ROM.

I did this same thing a few weeks ago. I just had to reinstall everything (including the recovery) from fastboot. Worked like a charm.
I used the nexusshack tut to root my nexus had no problems.
You could go into recovery, mount usb storage, find the clockworkmod directory and copy that to your pc..
do a full data wipe and flash a new rom, then install rom manager flash CWM recovery . move the clockworkmod directory back to your phone. boot into recovery and restore you backup.
Just an idea .. not sure if it could work..(take no responsibility is it doesnt)
My P5100 had CM10 nightly on it and was running fine until I upgraded to the latest version of CM10 after wiping the cache & Dalvik cache. After the upgrade I couldn't get Google Play to run even after wiping its data and fixing permissions so I tried to do a CWM restore. Unfortunately there was a fault restoring the Data partition and now my tablet is stuck at the animated bootscreen. If I long-press the power button it powers off but immediately restarts. There is no way to start in in recovery or flash mode. I've plugged it into my PC and the Samsung Android ADB interface is showing but the other references to the tablet all have a yellow triangle in Device Manager. I'm hoping some clever person can help me rescue the tablet with ADB. Thanks!

IF CWM is not working use Odin to flash CWM again then use CWM to flash CM10,
You may need to do a factory reset (full wipe) from CWM.
If all else fails use Odin to flash stock JB ROM

Thanks but Odin cannot see the tablet to re-flash the recovery.
Downlods mode
Then flash new firmware

That's the problem - I cannot access download mode
UPDATE - it just started in download mode! I can manage from here!!
Just for the record you can install adb on the pc and run the command 'adb reboot recovery'. This will force the tablet to reboot in recovery mode.

Jeez, this has taken up most of the day to fix. I came across many problems I have not previously experienced:
1. When the tablet was stuck at the boot animation and I tried to turn it off by long-pressing the power button it immediately restarted. The only way I could get it to turn off was by long-pressing the power button whilst it was connected to my PC.
2. Flashing the stock ROM with Odin appeared to complete successfully but it would never fully boot, it always got stuck at the black & white Samsung screen. Same problems turning it off as above.
3. Flashing CWM with Odin caused the tablet to reboot into the stock ROM which would not load, in the end I had to untick the "reboot" button in Odin, power it off then manually restart with the Vol- & power buttons.
4. The only way I could get a bootable ROM was by flashing CM10 with CWM. I tried to restore 2 previous CWM backups but on each occasion there was an error restoring the Data partition and I got stuck at the scenario at (1). The backups were made to the external SD card with CWM Touch - is the Touch version unreliable?
I would be really interested if anyone could shed any light on any of this stuff!
For how long did you let it install during the first reboot? It happened to me too, and it took about 10 minutes, maybe even more...
Also, did you try in the "Mount and storage" cwm menu the options "format system", "format data", "format cache" and "format preload" options, prior to re-flashing a ROM? I have read somewhere that for a clean install it's better to do this, as it really clears everything that could mess up the system between two different bases ROMs (like CM and stock).
What I do everytime is using in CWM these 4 "format" options, plus "wipe" system, cache and dalvik, then immediately after this I flash with cwm the new "zip" copied on the card. Then the first reboot is much longer than usual, as at this stage it installs the files, rebuild the dalvik cache etc.
Good luck

I think I gave it a good 20 mins to boot. When I got up this morning there was an error message saying that there was no room to install any more apps even though I had very few installed. Settings -> Storage would not calculate the space available so I figured that the partitions had become corrupted. I did the step by step format you described and reflashed & it all seems to be OK now.
Hi,
I installed CM 10.2 on my A510 to try it out, did a full wipe, and got stuck in a boot loop. Wiped again and reinstalled but had the same issue. I have tried again with CM 10.1.3 and the AOKP roms but have the same issue, full wipe before each install. Right now I cannot get past the boot screen where the tablet restarts and tries again and again and again etc....
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks
When you say Full Wipe, it means Factory reset ?
Did you try to restore a Backup with CWM or TWRP ?
Yes factory reset. I tried restoring with CWM but each of my backups fail to restore either failing to restore /data or /system.

Did you try to copy your zip file both on internal and external sd card ?
checked MD5sum ?
Did you try to flash a stock ROM from Acer ?

Yes to all the above. Did the stock ROM one hour ago and doesn't boot loop buts just sticks at the iconia tab logo. Also when I try to get recovery now I just get a dead Android picture.
Edit: Using Stock ROM I get a message that Android is upgrading Optimizing aa 1 of 46, 2 of 46, 3 of 46 and it then retorns to the iconia tab logo and stays there
I finally got the tablet working again by installing the original ROM using fastboot for each of system, flexrom, boot and recovery. I then installed 10.2 which works OK apart from the fact that when using Titanium to restore my apps the tablet reboots randomly. So far I've only managed to restore 10% of my apps.
EDIT: Constant reboots now regardless of what I'm doing, downloading, installing etc. Going to try another ROM, 10.1 or AOKP. On 10.1 now, restoring apps from Google works for a while but after a certain stage random reboots starts again.
Lastest, back in endless boot loop. Tried restoring by fastboot but flexrom restore fails every time.
I have a similar problem on my A700... Installed 10.2 and then suddenly did not boot anymore. Tried to flash the nighly before the newest one but id did not change. Then i made a backup in CWM and formatted DATA. Now i boots but if i restore the backup, it won't boot. I can find my files in a 0\0\0\0\0 Folder or something like that. So nothing is lost, but it's not in the running system.
How to restore these files and apps?
After at least 25 wipes and flashing various roms 10.1 10.2 and AOKP I think my tablet is reasonably stable now. I formatted - /data /system /flexrom internal storage, everything except the external sd a few times then installed and have only had one random reboot since 2am. Instead of restoring from titanium or direct from Google I reinstalled all my apps individually and the restored my data from titanium. Hopefully this will be the end of this.

Here are the particulars.
rooted
Display JZO54K
Fingerprint = motorola/tervigon/wingray:4.1.2/JZO54K/.....
Loaded elementalx - xoom- v1.3 three months ago ran fine. Stupidly, I did not flash a backup. Now after deleting cache, factory reset, stuck in "loading apps" after splash, the boot loops back to motorola screen where I can launch CWM v4.0.0.4 - I want to get a ROM on there and continue using this mission-critical dinosaur. Can someone help?
I guess the real question is can a rom be copied onto the ext-sd card via windows out of the xoom? If so will CWM see it and will it work?
Have not tried connecting and using ADB. Not feeling confident enough at this point. ext SD still has data but when in CWM device does not show up in Windows.
TIA for any help

I pushed a stock rooted rom via ADB (I found the internal sdcard is accessible via the ADB shell) . The stock rom showed up in the CWM select zip file list. Installed the rom and the xoom animation freezes then continues the boot loop - regardless of rom installed. Cleaned system cache and davik cache as well after factory wipe. I am beginning to think hardware issues. No amount of cajoling will get this thing to boot into its OS. Either memory or processor - when it worked, I did have it running incredicontrol and 1.4 ghz and the max memory limitation upped to 64MB in order to run a lecture player for school.
